For Best Results

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mix-

ture of hot, clean water and detergent against

soiled surfaces of dishes. When a cycle is started, the dishwasher fills with water to about

the level of the heating element. This water is

pumped through the rotating spray arms, drained through the filter system which removes food and soil, and pumped back

through the rotating spray arms. Soiled water

is pumped out and replaced with clean water during a cycle-the number of times depends on the cycle being used.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face powerful spray from rotating arms.

The filtering system

It is not necessary to rinse dishes before

putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove

large pieces and quantities of food and bones. The filtering system helps keep food particles out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed away as water is pumped out. Larger particles are trapped in the pump guard.

To remove the pump guard for cleaning...

1. Wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down.

2. Unload and remove the bottom rack.

Water must be hot

For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least 140°F (60°C).

1. Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until it is as hot as possible.

2. Hold a candy or meatthermometer in the stream of hot water

to measure the temperature.

3. If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise

3. Press the outside wall of the pump guard at the center to release the latch.

4. Lift out and rinse clean.

To replace the pump guard...

1, Insert pump guard legs (on inside wall) into

matching openings in filter screen.

2. Press down on outside wall until latch snaps into place.

3. Replace bottom rack with rack bumpers in front.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping and clattering noises during operation:

Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the rack.

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc. do not touch interior walls

or interfere with either of the spray arms rotation.

Load dishes so they don’t touch one another.

NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted durlng dtshwasher opemtlon to prevent noise

Proper loading

Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are reached by spray from rotating spray arms. Water must be able to drain off completely for best drying results. Be careful to separate items so spray can reach all surfaces.
